Expires: A few more SF stories using songs: Anne McCaffrey's DRAGONFLIGHT, wherein the Question Song and the Ballad of Moreta's Ride convince Lessa that she can jump back in time 400 years to bring forward the personnel & dragons of 5 Weyrs; CRYSTAL SINGER by the same author, wherein ``singing'' is used to locate crystals with rather unusual properties of sympathetic vibration; THE GREEN HILLS OF EARTH by Robert A Heinlein, which is an explanation to a song; STARDANCE and its sequel, by Spider Robinson; STAR FIRE by Ingo Swann, about a rock singer whose ability to ``get in tune with his audience'' turns out to be exactly what it says. I have a bunch of others hovering at the back of my mind refusing to be acknowledged; maybe someone else will jog my memory. BTW, I make no claims on the readability of any of these stories, merely that they have songs as major or semi-major parts. --bsa -- Brandon Allbery, Unix Consultant -- 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, OH 44131 decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!bsa; ncoast!bsa@case.csnet; +1 216 524 1416; 74106,1032 ========================> Trekkies have Warped minds. <=======================
